A well known farmer of the coun ty said today, “I have sold a bale or two of cotton to meet my most press ing obligations. After that I am going to hold my cotton for 15 cents. I think that 15 cents is a reasonable lirioe./all things considered. I am i)os- itive that 10 cents is not a reason able price, is not even a ‘living’ price and all the farmers in my section of the county are of the same opin ion.” Most of the. local organizations of the cQunty Fanners’ Union, It is said, have decided as organizations to hold the cotton represented in the various unions, the overwhelming concensiis of opinion being that 10 cents docs not more than cover the cost of production, to say nothing of leaving a margin for profit.

Mr. James Williamson, of Matthews, brought a stalk of cotton to The News office Saturday on which the parasite was still at work. It came from the farm of Mr. E. J. Heath at Matthews. The crop in some sections of the county is practically all gathered and in some places where the cotton opened early the ground is being plowed now for an autumn crop of oats. In Long Creek township num bers of cotton fields are being ploughed, the cotton having all open ed and gathered. Mr. C. H. Herron, a well known fanner of Berryhill township, who has been accustomed to making 19 or 20 bales of cotton each year, does not expect to make more than eight this year on the same ground. be our Greatest Coat Suit Pi 'd great things for It, I sho" ing the largest ’ d stock we ever o;j *0 ppend a while In this ‘ ■ morrow and see Just ib.

Yard VEY'S Emily P. Weaver, in St. Nicholas, writing of the “queer but jolly school days of the present king of England," saya: “George V, who was crowned king of England in the grand old abbey of Westminster, had rather strange schooldays. From the time he w’as 12 years old his school was a ship and many of his teachers were naval offi cers. Sometimes hi& schoolroom roll ed 80 much that it was impossible to read or write', to sit or stand comfort ably, and this was ‘very trying to the temper.* But whether the weather was windy or rainy, calm or rough, ‘school went on like clock work,’ and the prince soon learned to adopt him self to changes. • ••••* “Their first school ship was the old man-of-war Brltania, lying in har bor at the little Dovenshlre seaport of Dartmouth. There the prlnccs lived exactly like the other ‘naval cadets,’ as the boys training for officers are called. They studied and they drlll^ They learned to handle ropes, shift sails and. use carpenter’s tools. They darned their own socks and mended their own clothes. If they got Into a quarrel (which, I fancy, was not very often,) they were left to fight It out themselves. In cricket and other sPorts they learned to ‘play the game’ and to take a beating manfully. They worked har(^ enough to find a real zest In holi days, and lived so plainly that when they went on shore they often spent some of their pocket money, like the other boys, on tarts and cake». In 1879, after two years on the stay- at-home old Britannia, they were pro moted to the cruiser Bacchante, and for the next three years hard work and home ‘roughing it’ was sweetened by plenty of fun and change. Their two long voyages In the Bacchante, taken together, made a Journey of over fifty-four thousand miles, during which they landed In many different countries and saw many strange sights.” FAIIMEilS ARE DETERMINED TD HOLDCDTTON With the report from all over the county that the county cotton crop is gQing to be as short as mId-Bummer prophets declared and with the report that In some sections a large part of the cotton Is already picked, the re port also comes from the most re liable sources that the farmers are going to hold their cotton for a higher price than 10 cents. The farm ers themselves say they are going to hold it and local cotton buyers say they are keeping their word. As an evidence that only a small per cent of the county’s cotton crop is being marketed, the figures at the cotton platform Saturday showed that 215 bales had been placed on the platform at 2 o’clock, as com pared with 483 bales marketed on the same date last year. The price last year was 13.40 cents per pound. Sat urday it was 9 7-8 cents per pound. It should also be borne in mind that Saturday is farmers’ day in the city and the one day of the week when the receipts usually mount far above that of other days. It is further stated that the crop has matured with unusual rapidity this year and there the amount of cotton already gathered throughout the county is far larger than Is usual at this date. This fact, coupled with the fact that the receipts at the local platform for the last few weeks are very much lower than the corres ponding weeks of last fall, are proof fhrt the farmers of Mecklenburg arf holding their cotton A number of cotton bu>ers seen today agreed that fhe-tarmers are holding their cotton to a marked ex tent.

By Associated Press., Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 2.—Advices have been received by the Italian con sul here that his government will furnish free transportation back to Italv to all men who desire to enlist in the army. Kansas City’s Italian colony is full of excitement over the declaration of war and it Is declared that many men will return to take part. Doctors Advised The Hospital Mrs. Herberger,who Would not Consent to Go there, Finally Relieved at Home St. Louis, Mo.—Mrs. Mary Herber- ger, of this city, says: “I was sick in bed for ten weeks, with womanly trou bles, and had four of the best doc tors waiting on me. Every one of them said I would have to go to the hospital and have an op eration, but I would not consent to that. I thought I would give Cardui a trial. When I began to take the first bottle, I could not turn over in bed, but had to be lifted. Before I finished the first bottle, my pains were leaving me, slowly, and fcoon I was out of bed and walking around. My pains have not come back, since. I weigh 155 lbs. and feel fine. Cardui saved me from an operation. I am going to keep it in the house, for I would not be without it.” Cardui’s strengthening effects quick ly show thuemselves in many different ways. This is because the ingredients, from which it Is made, go to the sourcfe of the trouble, and by acting specifical ly on the cause, relieve or cure and help bring back health and strength.
